High-Performance Ultrasonic Energy
ALTRASCAL delivers surgical energy through high-frequency mechanical vibration at approximately 55.5 kHz, corresponding to around 55,000 vibrations per second.
This ultrasonic energy platform is designed to support controlled tissue cutting and coagulation while minimizing unnecessary thermal effects on surrounding tissue.
Automatic Instrument Recognition
ALTRASCAL incorporates a universal connector with automatic instrument recognition.
This allows the generator to identify compatible connected instruments and helps simplify system setup before surgical procedures.
Tissue Impedance Monitoring
The system incorporates tissue impedance monitoring as part of its ultrasonic energy control architecture.
By monitoring tissue characteristics during operation, the system is designed to support controlled delivery of ultrasonic energy while helping reduce lateral thermal tissue effects.
Compact & Lightweight Design
ALTRASCAL is designed as a compact surgical energy platform that can be conveniently transported and positioned within an operating-room environment.
The generator has a maximum specified weight of 4.5 kg, making it comparatively compact for an ultrasonic surgical generator platform.
